Been a busy year. Finally got my first tech certification in Jan, been building up my confidence and skills in deco diving for the last few months. Trying to build up CCR hours between OC students, and OC tech dives, finally got my Sport CCR Instructor cert and finished my first CCR student on Mod1.
Got my first drysuit, got pretty comfortable diving it OC and then discovered in the last few dives that counterlungs + wing + drysuit is a LOT of bubbles for me to manage, getting there but the workload is high still.
This coming year? hoping to spend most of the year on CCR. Doing my normoxic when I can get the instructor and my schedules to line up, somewhere in there I want to work on my tech instructor certification. I meet the paper requirements vis a vis dive numbers etc etc but I don't quite feel that my potential tech students would be getting a good deal, training with me.
So, by this time next year, I hope to be teaching CCR / OC Trimix to 50m and diving to 70m myself. That will be the last certs I will be pursuing for myself in terms of depth etc. After this it will purely be IT type learning and development.
